Can you now compare nepa light with solar when it's stable
You don't get it. At a price of 170k nepa bill per month for a residential area, solar is better.

Do you even understand what band A is? do you even understand the kind of neighbourhoods that get supplied band A power supply or you are just foolishly emotional?
Be you a tenant or landlord , for you to live in an area with bndA power suply ,then you earn far abovea minimum wage. Do your findings before ranting next time
Let me educate you. In Lagos aside from Ikoyi, VI and Lekki, most of the areas grouped under band A are areas that hosts average or below average Nigerians.

In the South East, I know many areas that are occupied by struggling civil servants that were grouped under band A. How do you explain that?

Come to the mainland and see the areas grouped under band A and tell me if those living in those areas are billionaires. I know of a particular area on the mainland (Ahamadyia) I hope I got the spelling right. It's around Kola/Joke Ayo. Towards Sango toll gate. It's a very poor environment but they were grouped under band A cos their light there is crazy. It stays on for days. How do you explain that?

We've not even talked about businesses, this means that most average businesses would be on the verge of collapse cos most of their profits would be going into electricity. And you feel it's ok?

Shame on you and your god Tinubu.

I don't get that stupid argument of theirs. Always claiming that people under Band A are elite Nigerians. Asides a few that got it by special arrangement with the discos, the remaining are (below) average areas. Some might be due to a notable production company in the environ or as CSR.

The best social-welfare program in the country is subsidy! It reaches everyone and everything. IMF's advice that the government should remove subsidy and redirect the money to social-welfare programs is very unfair to the people. Now, they are still paying subsidy and the people are now paying through their noses. It would have been cheaper, easier, more convenient and more people-friendly to simply pay more attention to the subsidy itself undecided
Aswear these regime they are very wicked and heartless

I don't know of private houses but businesses are burning hundreds of thousands of naira on generator fuel & maintenance. They would happily accept 200k bill if the light is at least 20 hours per day.
How much income do those businesses and individuals generate monthly? Why are you guys wicked?

You want Nigerians who are being payed monthly salary in severely devalued nearly worthless naira to pay for the amount that those in UK( £ ) and America ($) pay for electricity?

Una get money, why una never consider solar?

233k a month is 2.76 milion a year.

I rather invest 10 million naira in solar than allow those DISCOs benefit from over pricing.

You mean it's better to compare ourselves with African countries that are sadly poorly managed? What then are we striving for, if not to do better than some failed/failing states?

Even NERC has listed thye hours for areas to be grouped under band A and there are serious penalties for any disco who vilates this. STOP TELLING LIES angry

This is by the way but the average tariff in the US and the UK is less than N225/kWh.

How many states have you lived in for more than one year?

Only one that is myopic would conclude that only rich people stay in areas under band A.

You seem not to understand my point bro. We can't be comparing ourselves with countries that are obviously poorly managed. It's like saying we must suffer for nothing because our neighbours are suffering for nothing. If those neighbouring countries were better managed, they'd be doing better.

Let's be honest, what we're passing through is far from ideal by any standard. And even though it didn't start with this administration, we must make them understand that they were not elected to maintain the status quo of poor management.

It is a rented apartment. The nature of the estate will not really allow for installation of Solar. Moreover, the capital cost for the installation of solar is very high for the duty I’d require

Stop deceiving yourself. You're a ronu miscreant.

To your question...

In Enugu, thinkers corner housing average Nigerians.

Emene

Trans Ekuku

Abakalii road that hosts innoson plastic and other factories. After MFM prayer city Enugu.

All these areas I mentioned are areas hosting average traders and struggling civil servants. And they're all grouped under band A. Go and verify these areas before mentioning me for a reply.

Now who's the liar?
